The Aurora Cycle : A New Hero

11 : Training

AAAAAA IM SORRY THIS IS SO LATE. I've been really busy lately.
Also I'm just going to demolish this updating schedule. I work better without one so...yeah. I'll update whenever I feel like it from not on.
But I'll shut up now, enjoy this chapter!

***********************************

It's dark.

Why is it dark?

What's going on?

"Hey Chloe!" I hear someone shout, and I shoot out of bed, only to see a little girl smiling at me from the foot of it.

"Chloe, Chloe! Come on, Mommy made breakfast!" The girl says. Who even is this girl, I think-

But then a name suddenly comes to me.

Mable.

Mable? Is that her?

"Chloeeee, come on!" She wines after not receiving an answer, and I nod absentmindedly.

"I'm coming, I'm coming." I mutter, sliding out of bed.

This isn't the hotel room.

But it feels...familiar.

Even though I've never seen it before in my life.

"Yay!" The girl, Mabel I'm assuming, squeals. She runs up to me and takes my hand, her eyes shining, her mouth in a bright grin.

But just as she touches my hand-

"...chlo...Chloe...CHLOE!"

I shoot out of bed at the noise, and see Fynn smirking at me from the side of the bed.

"Awe, Princess finally up?" He teases, and I throw a pillow at him, sitting up and yawning.

"Fynn, stop!" Ella chides, looking over at the two of us from her position on the other bed.

After Auri left, the four of us teenagers decided to spend some...quality time together.

And by quality time I mean playing a dumb get to know each other game. It was stupid, but I actually got to know the people who I'm risking my life with, so it was somewhat useful.

I also learned Fynn and Ella love to argue with each other over everything, and Ren and I tend to disagree over a solid 70 percent of issues.

So we're obviously a great group.

"I'm just trying to have fun, Elles." Fynn remarks, and Ella scoffs.

"Don't call me Elles." She states, throwing him a glance as she types on her uni-glass. Fynn snorts, and I see Ren's head pop up from underneath Ella's bed.

"Guys, shut up. My turn to nap?" He asks, and I nod.

"All yours." I offer, standing up and beginning to braid my blond hair.

Ren stands up fully, and starts to walk over to the bed. "Finally." He comments, and I elbow him in the side, resulting in Ella and Fynn laughing out loud.

"Oh shut it you too." Ren retorts, and just as he's about to sit down-

"Hey guys!" Auri says, bursting into the room. The sound startles Fynn, and he almost falls off the bed, resulting in a snort from Ella.

"Auri, you're okay!" I cry in relief, and Auri laughs, a certain glimmer in her eye that I've never seen before.

"Yeah, not dead yet." She replies, grinning. "I need to borrow you for a bit though, Chloe. I'm figuring we should get start to train with your abilities. And it turns out we have a golden opportunity right now."
